However, due to poverty, backwardness and illiteracy of parents, children have been undergone to vulnerable which leads child labour, exploitation, misuse and abuse of children. Besides, child labour prevents the children from their physical, mental growth and over all personality development.

Perhaps, industrialization and migration were made children more vulnerable and deprived of their rights. However, it is the obligation of the state and society to protect the rights of children to combat against child labour, because children are also considered as human beings and all human rights are equally applicable to them. Indeed, at the International level Several ILO Conventions, United Nations Human Rights Declarations, Covenants, Conventions and Protocols were adopted to com bat against child labour . Similarly at the national level several Constitutional Provisions, separate Legislations and several Governmental measures are also provided to regulate child labour and protect the rights of children.
